So we are working on her schoolwork, doing Math. She has to do a PowerPoint thing. First I had to find it and read, research to see how to use it. No they did not tell us anything about it. Now she has to find pictures to use. It is all on measurement. So she comes to the word Ounce. Yep guess what comes up over and over. The weighing of the smoking stuff. Still searching for a picture SHE CAN USE!

I figured it out and taught her today and she got it done and turned in. Fifteen pages of PowerPoint pages, don't think the teacher thought of how long that would take. One day for me to learn the thing and then today to teach her and have her do the 15 pages. I'm tired! lol

@arthurchappell This is insane, half the things she will never ever use again unless they continue to do it in school but will never use in the "real world". Some things I will never understand what the point is in teaching. Then there is some easy things they have done for the last 3 years, however spending time on things that will forever be used is not one that is taught unless I do it.

@andriaperry Yeah they might not like me, I stopped her in the middle of the test and said we are done, that we would finish it tomorrow. TO much stress on both of us.

Yes a math assignment of 15 pages using the PowerPoint. Learning the thing took me about a day to figure it out, then taught her how to use it today and she did the 15 pages.

@ilocosboy I do because it is for her, if not that Id be saying a lot more to them then I do! The stuff taught is just not really smart. Easier ways to teach and get a kid to understand and do things!
